On 29th October 2026, Farrat proudly hosted its third Social Impact Foundation Networking Event, bringing together education and industry partners, charity partners, community organisations, colleagues and supporters for an evening dedicated to connection, collaboration and positive social impact.

Held at the Kimpton Hotel in Manchester, the event provided an opportunity for the ‘Friends of Farrat’ to come together, share experiences and celebrate the achievements made possible through strong community partnerships.

Throughout the evening, guests reflected on the ways Farrat has supported organisations through volunteering initiatives, fundraising activities, community engagement projects and early careers opportunities. These partnerships have helped organisations strengthen their work, reach more people and create meaningful opportunities within their communities.

The event also provided a platform for attendees to connect with like-minded organisations, explore opportunities for future collaboration and learn more about the inspiring projects being delivered across the region. Guests shared stories of success, discussed challenges facing the voluntary sector and highlighted the importance of working together to drive lasting social value.

We would like to thank all our guests for attending and contributing to another successful event. We look forward to continuing to strengthen these partnerships and making a positive difference in the communities we serve.
